5 out of 5 stars great fun.......2007-05-11

refreshing and funny ! don't worry about nit-picking the details - it's meant as a light hearted romp - and should be enjoyed as such. Kyle McLaughlin was wonderful as 'Cary Grant'. He's grown up into a far more handsome man than you might expect from his 'Dune' beginnings.

1 out of 5 stars Saw in theater...walked out.......2007-01-25

Saw this a couple years ago in the theater. As a NYC gay man who generally enjoys independent movies, I found this film formulaic, shallow, and just plain uninteresting. The screenplay was boring, the characters unappealing, the acting mediocre at best (even for a low budget indie). In fact, although I paid for two tickets (me and my partner's), we chose to leave approximately 15 minutes before the ending. I just couldn't take the agony any longer.

4 out of 5 stars Very stylish and charming gay dramedy........2007-01-24

Touch of pink has a lot of different elements happening, such as culture clash, gay romance/infidility, coming out, and so on. The film is actually quite enjoyable as dramedy, even though it's geared towards being more of a comedy. While it's very pleasing visually, considered the production and wardrobe and music are very good, it's the main characters that make the film more affecting. I very much enjoyed the performance from Suleka Mathew who is made to look older to be Jimi Mistry's mother, and she steals the scenes effortlessly. Having worked with Canadian actor Kris Holden Reid in Never Forget(2007 release), I was quite surprised and taked by his willingness to tackle so many gay love scenes and nudity. He plays the love interest of Jimi, but his character is not so monogamous but emotionally committed. I do like his British accent, but I find his mannerism is too straight looking. That comes from Jimi Mistry as well, his appearance and portrayal is somewhat wooden and it's not the properly subtle gay, even his character is supposed to be closeted. The emotional range of his performance is there, and that was quite touching at times. Finally, I must say that while it's just a supporting role, Kyle Maclachlan did a marvellous job at impersonating Gary Grant. The voice and mannerism, plus the right makeup, hair, and wardrobe on him. I thought George Clooney was the only one who looks very much like Grant, I guess I am wrong.

3 out of 5 stars Boring and hard to understand.......2006-08-16

The accents in this movie take some time to get used to, but if you turn the volume up and really listen intently you'll get it. The story is the same old thing, mom's coming and I'm not out yet. I saw Chicken Tikka Masala before this and it's the same story. I just didn't get into this one very much.

5 out of 5 stars Touch of Me.......2006-07-29

This movie captures the pains involved in coming out in a very touching, and for the most part amusing way. I highly reccomend this movie.
